The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 921 - 920. Has this Tang Shu always been like this?

"I would lean towards research directions. In modern terms, that would belong to the category of a Pharmacist."

Compared to sitting in a hospital and treating patients, Tang Shu is more inclined to promote and expand the existing prescriptions of Tang Sect, and on this basis, have enough time to explore combinations that have never been tried before.

Compared to the Damo Dynasty, the conditions here are unique, and it is an exceptional opportunity.

Moreover, in this world where one can go anywhere with enough courage, there are many unseen herbs waiting for her to discover, such as the ones she has already encountered in Southeast Asia and the Far North.

Ye Xiaohui stared at her for a moment, her thought process oddly synchronizing, "A Pharmacist is indeed suitable for you, but if you want absolute freedom, perhaps you’re more inclined to set up a simple lab for yourself?"

"Wait, why is Xiaohui saying that being a Pharmacist suits Xiao Shu? Where on earth did you see that from?"

As the only one among the three who was completely clueless, Cheng Ranran listened in utter confusion.

Ye Xiaohui pinched her cheek with sympathy, "Have you forgotten? Xiao Shu once made us mosquito repellent cream, and you said it was very useful at the time."

"That’s true..."

But something seems not quite right?

Cheng Ranran blinked her round eyes full of bewilderment, as if convinced, yet somewhat not, completely missing the meaningful glance exchanged between the other two without words.

Ye Xiaohui picked up a bottle of sparkling water to celebrate, "I wish you all the best, and if there’s anything I can help with... Although I’m not as specialized as you, I’m still a Medical College graduate."

"Thanks."

After successfully meeting up with her two roommates, the trio had a simple meal together in the cafeteria before they split up—taking advantage of the days before the sleepless nights of reading were upon them, they absolutely had to go out and enjoy themselves—thus Cheng Ranran and Ye Xiaohui, holding the two "Easy Rule Jianghu 2" movie tickets they got from Tang Shu, dashed to the nearby cinema.

Meanwhile, the latter made a detour to a research lab adjacent to the Medicinal Garden.

The research group for the Full Moon Plant was only established during the summer. Including Professor Yu and Professor Chen, all 11 group members spent the entire summer in the Imperial Capital, each full of zeal, even wishing to dedicate their entire 24 hours to the place.

"So, this Tang Shu has always been like this, right? I haven’t seen him around here yet!"

"Where does he get the confidence from, thinking he can keep up with our progress even without coming to the lab?"

"But the data that Professor Yu has already analyzed indeed came from him. Although the person hasn’t shown up... the research progress really hasn’t fallen behind, and I just want to know how he did it?"

"Regardless, it’s too arrogant—Even if he is Professor Yu’s student, he shouldn’t be so presumptuous. A senior should act like one, how can he set an example like this?"

During the noon break of this day, the enigmatic Tang Shu was still severely criticized by the researchers led by Professor Chen. Even the leader of Group 2 felt a bit discontented, but as a qualified professor, he did not show this dissatisfaction overtly.

"Be cautious with what you say. Focus on your own duties and avoid making baseless comments about others behind their backs."

"..."

Everyone’s faces flushed slightly, and they immediately fell silent. Professor Lin’s authority was long-established, and no one dared to backtalk to their mentor at this moment.

In the crowd, Zeng Xiujing, who had been silent, scanned everyone’s faces and noticed that those who had participated in the research of Snow Soul Grass did not comment on Tang Shu, which piqued her curiosity even more.

"Junior Meng, has Tang Shu always been like this?"

Meng Yunyun, who was called upon, was currently wrestling with the statement, "A senior should act like a senior," genuinely unsure if she should reveal Tang Shu’s real age to everyone.

Let’s not even mention age; I bet no one has guessed their gender correctly, huh? Don’t think that just because "she" and "he" sound the same, she can’t tell the difference.

"This..."

Meng Yunyun wore a peculiar expression, her face expressing more than words could describe, and after a long pause, she still couldn’t find the right words to describe Tang Shu.

What to say? That indeed, they have the capacity, not only to remotely control research progress but also to seamlessly connect at any time, and what’s more, when you present a question that seems unsolvable, you will definitely get a precise answer from her?

This is too mystical, something that only those who have experienced it can deeply understand.

If Meng Yunyun had heard such fantastical statements before meeting Tang Shu, she would never have believed them, but the fact is, that’s exactly how it is.

Zeng Xiujing didn’t insist on knowing the answer to this question either. Seeing his troubled face, she didn’t continue to inquire, simply assuming that their earlier discussion had hit the nail on the head, and she felt slightly skeptical about Tang Shu in her heart.

Just another arrogant person riding on their natural talent.

But in the talent-filled Imperial Medical College, the one thing that’s never in short supply is talented individuals.

At this moment, the person in question was already standing at the entrance of the lab building, breezing through with the access card they had used previously.

The growth habits of the Full Moon Plant are completely different from those of the Snow Soul Grass. In order to facilitate the storage of its medicinal properties and to better research its cultivation methods, the temperature in the lab was set extremely low.

Entering the lab in a short-sleeved shirt, it felt like stepping instantly from scorching summer into winter, as the bone-chilling cold hit her, and her pores, which had been open, were now painfully constricted.

"Hiss——"

Tang Shu activated her Inner Strength to resist the cold and took out her pristine white lab coat to put on, then felt somewhat better.

Today, she had brought over the fruits of her labor from Tang Village—two freshly-prepared prescriptions and several bottles of pills made with Father Tang. Although Tang Shu had confirmed their valuable medicinal properties, a scientific paper was still needed for sufficient persuasive power.

"In this era where science decides everything..."

If it were in Tang Sect, given her decisive nature, absolutely no one would question the authenticity of the medicinal properties.

Thinking this, Tang Shu, who was quite confident in her research results, also had to settle down and prove the practicality of the prescriptions with a scientific and rigorous attitude.

***

At 1:30 PM, when a group of people returned from the cafeteria, they found an additional slim figure in the lab.

The person wore an immaculate white lab coat, and their dark hair was casually tied up by its owner, moving slightly with her movements. Due to the angle, the owner’s face was conveniently hidden.

Meanwhile, a familiar scent of herbs drifted into everyone’s noses.

Following the scent, they saw a flame under a spot where medicine was being prepared, with a clay pot on it bubbling away.

"...Tang Shu?"

Meng Yunyun spoke with a hint of uncertainty, and when the head of Tang Shu, who had been engrossed in checking the research progress, looked up, her young and exquisitely beautiful features were exposed in front of everyone.
